Original abstract

With the introduction of unmanned aircraft vehicles, ad-hoc aerial networks and an increased aerial traffic in the general aviation environment, the existing air traffic-related communication data-links solutions are no longer sufficient. The solution investigated here is to supplement the existing cmWave solutions with mmWave signals in order to better handle the interferences, reach lower outage probabilities, and higher throughputs. Our paper surveys the existing solutions, challenges, and opportunities related to the communication data links in general aviation, and it presents several case studies related to the achievable outage probabilities and throughputs under rural and urban scenarios of low-altitude aerial vehicles.
